It seems a very relevant question. The way collaboration over salut works now (I ask the experts to confirm that), every application will demand a multicast mac address. And four are already taken (01:00:5e:00:00:fb, 01:00:5e:00:00:01, 33:33:00:00:00:01 and 33:33:ff:<1>:<2>:<3>, where <1>..<3> are the last three bytes of the XO's mac addr). I am assuming this has to be subtracted from the total of 8. So, this would pose a limit of 4 shared applications for a given XO over a simple mesh.
Assuming this is correct, than some questions follow. - Is 4 a reasonable limit (is the XO capable of more in terms of processing and memory?) - Is this a hard limit? How hard is to increase this number and what is the compromise?
